"Peace...in Estonian!"
Glastonbury, CT
NOTE: This adventure is less than a mile long. Though unmarked, the trails are generally easy to walk, with some gentle hills here and there. You'll be walking through state forest land. Wear orange during hunting season. Also, wherever you letterbox, be aware of your surroundings. Be careful reaching in to places. Reptiles do inhabit the region. The starting point for this letterbox is the same as for "Peace... in Spanish (and Portuguese)!".

From route 2, take the exit for route 83. Once you reach the end of the off ramp, turn onto rte 83 north. After about 0.6 miles, turn right on Forest Lane. Drive along for roughly 1.9 miles until you come to Mr. Al E. Gator. Continue up the winding road for 0.2 more miles until you come to a small gravelly parking area on the right. Stop here. By the way, this happens to be the exact point where the road turns to dirt. You'll know you are in the correct spot if you see a couple of "State Land" signs nailed to a tree that looks like it had been a snack for a beaver.

From your car, walk between the row of boulders, stepping over a log. Walk across a small open area to a wide trail. Pass a pond/vernal pool on the left. Almost immediately after this, you will come to a fork in the trail. Don't go left. I repeat, don't go left. (Note: After you continue, you may spot a narrow trail entering from the right. Walk past it.) Soon your trail will become narrower, but don't worry. After a bit, you leave the pine forest behind. The trail will veer left and meander downhill for about 100 yards. When you come to an intersection with a logging road, continue straight, passing a white blazed tree. Soon, you find yourself atop a ledge with a view to the right. Continue for another minute or two. Step over a small seasonal stream. Then walk a short distance to an intersection overlooking an area where some logging has taken place. You might notice that about 10 feet ahead of you is a tree with a very long scar. (perhaps a lightning injury?) Anyway, at this junction, turn left and walk on the new trail uphill 35 steps. Look to your left for a standing stone with a good size tree growing from it. It's about 20 steps away. Go to it. About a yard away, in the direction of a much larger rocky area, is a mossy boulder with a birch growing out of it. Look low, next to the birch tree for the "Peace...Estonian" letterbox. Return the way you came.

I hope you enjoyed this awesome spot! Spread the word!
